21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, who would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents. talents: a talent is seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is one hundred and eighty–seven pounds ten shillings
25 But as he had nothing with which to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. worshipped him: or, besought him
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, who owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest. pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou didst beg me:
33 Shouldest thou not also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
